ANIMALS is an indie drama about a couple dealing with their addiction starring David Dastmalchian (Ant-Man) and Kim Shaw (She’s Out of My League) written by Dastmalchian and helmed by debuting director Collin Schiffli. While I absolutely fell in love with the film at SXSW 2014, I worried that the film wouldn’t find wide distribution, and I’m more than thrilled to be proven wrong. Considering the film won the Special Jury Prize for Courage in Storytelling at SXSW 2015, it was only a matter of time before the film found a distributor that could treat it well, and it will fit perfectly well alongside distributor Oscilloscope Laboratories’ slate of films. If it sounds like I’m short selling the film, it’s only because the film truly should be seen, and a synopsis/summary of the film can’t truly capture the film’s amazing storytelling and performances.

Make absolutely sure you catch ANIMALS when it’s released on May 2015.  While you wait, enjoy the recently released trailer above, and check out our SXSW video interview with Shaw, Schiffli, and Dastmalchian here.
